Back in 2011, a lanky actor in black shirt singing in a recording room captured the imagination of millions around the world, as Why This Kolaveri Di became some sort of a global phenomenon. This sensational song from Dhanush and Anirudh became so famous that, it made Tamil actor Dhanush an overnight superstar.

While it is been nearly four years since the song made its impact, one can’t deny that the mere mention of the song still manages to make you sing along. Today I stumbled upon something interesting which will make you reminiscence Kolaveri Di. CoCa Cola has come up with with an interesting Turkish cover song which borrows the tune from Dhanush’s Kolaveri Di. The song shot on the beach is a flirty number between the group of boys and girls, with the world CoCa Cola replacing the word Kolaveri.

Even though one doesn’t understand a thing in the song, this Turkish version of Kolaveri Di does manage to put a smile on your face. Now I wonder what does Dhanush think about this Turkish Kolaveri Di?

This a classic example of what a woman can do with her sensuality and boldness. When it comes to entertainment, women power seems to rule on the big screen and even on the small mobile screen! Vidya Balan has proved this point unabashedly not just with her sizzling moves but also with her unapologetic and bold acting in the film The Dirty Picture. A recent survey conducted by a mobile company has thrown up some interesting data. Giving tough fight to the talk of the town Kolaveri di, Vidya’s belly jiggling, bosom heaving and booty shaking moves in Ooh la la have made it the most watched video on mobile. More than 13 lakh people viewed vidya’s Ooh la la song on their cellphones this year compared to lowly 56,000 people who watched Kolaveri di. But here’s an interesting prophecy which can turn the table in singer Dhanush’s favour. Given the fact that Kolaveri is slowly gaining the much coveted International appeal, the song is slated to have more takers in the new year. For now though it’s Vidya’s Ooh la la all the way!
